Auction Hero Announces Special Flood Relief Auctionpak

Spring weather always brings rain to mid-America, sometimes literally tons of water on the planet. Generally, this water finds its way to smaller rivers and tributaries, which find their way into the Mighty Mississippi. But nobody expected it to be like this.
In what may be one of the most drawn out natural disasters in American history, the Mississippi River continues its march southward toward the Gulf of Mexico. With the massive amounts of rainfall that have swollen rivers and tributaries that feed the mighty Mississippi, America's main waterway is flooding out homes, neighborhoods, farmland. It is leaving one grand mess, and it's taking its sweet time doing it.

As part of our commitment to giving back and supporting those in need, Auction hero is creating a special "AuctionPAK" with 35 percent of the proceeds going to the American Red Cross.
"What's strange about this disaster is that it is unfolding so slowly," said Lee Eric Smith, founder of Auction hero. "So as we watch the news, it's easy to forget that the effects of this catastrophe will linger long after it's off the evening news. We want to help people put their lives back together after the news cycle has moved on."

Customers who purchase the Flood Relief AuctionPAK ($100) will receive 125 bids as well as 50 bonus points. Bonus points will be redeemable for other prizes in a rewards program to be rolled out in the Fall 2011. Of the $100 AuctionPAK price, $35 will be donated to the American Red Cross' Disaster Relief initiative. Auction hero is in no way affiliated with American Red Cross, and purchase of AuctionPAKs are not tax-deductible.

Auction hero is a penny auction site that specializes in "competitive shopping" for tremendous deals on all kinds of merchandise. Bidders purchase "AuctionPAKs," then place bids on desired merchandise, usually in one cent increments. With each bid, the price increases by one cent, and more time is added to the countdown clock. If your bid is the last one placed, YOU WIN!
This is how such great deals can be found in penny auctions. And if your bid isn't successful, don't worry you can use the "Buy It Now" button to apply the price of used bids to the retail price of the product.

Finally, we want to help a lot of great charities along the way some more famous, as well as smaller but equally deserving nonprofits that are doing great work.

"For every American Red Cross or other national charity out there, there's also a dozen smaller organizations that are serving their communities just as well," Smith said. "But unlike the national charities, these small nonprofits don't have national recognition or large fundraising staffs. So we want to help these organizations because their work is just as important."

We thoroughly vet all charities we support, and if you know of an organization that's doing great work for people, drop us a line at info@Auction hero
